transmet

Quick fast personal link store that exports to a HTML template for quick posting to a blog

Usecase: storing interesting news articles you come across during a week with at the moment notes/commentary and then exporting in a currated organized format for immediate blog posting at your convience

Note

As this is a personal project, some of the niceities like user managment and category managment (that are one time tasks) are left to be done in SQL. I needed a tool to store links and export to html so that's what I've focused on.
